Our home venue, Hayko's Turkish Carpets, is in danger of closing down...
So, to avert this tragedy, EIGHT of our group's most loved musicians are putting on this all-star BENEFIT CONCERT!
~~~
Hayko's has been the home of our monthly Culture Circle, as well as our Intimate Nights of Music series, for three years now.
However, as antique carpets are considered a luxury item in this economy, his carpet sales have slowed down significantly, forcing Hayko to rely more on his store's income from hosting arts/music events like ours...
This large event is designed to increase Hayko's profile as an arts venue, get the word out about his carpets, raise a little money, and get some media attention for his store in the process.
~~~
*Each person who attends shall also be entered into a drawing to win an authentic antique Turkish Carpet from Hayko's, valued near $1,000.00!
